INTRODUCTION. 



The business of looking after the British colonies in America and 
elsewhere, during the period from 1660 to 1782, was intrusted in 
largest part to men who occupied in the British system of govern- 
ment a place no higher than that of advisers to the Crown. The 
select councils from 1660 to 1671:, the Lords of Trade from 1675 to 
1696, and the Board of Trade from 1696 to 1782 possessed no in- 
dependent executive functions, and their decisions were merely rec- 
ommendations which the King could accept or reject as he pleased. 
In whatever form they might be presented, such decisions, to be 
effective, had to be confirmed by a sign-manual warrant or an order 
in Council, which alone could give legal expression to the King's 
will and pleasure. 

During the earliest of the three periods, that from 1660 to 1674, 
each recommendation took the form of a report, prepared usually 
by a committee of the Council, approved by the whole body at its 
regular meeting, and sent directly to the King. From 1675 to 1696, 
when colonial affairs were managed by a standing committee of the 
Privy Council, called the Lords of Trade, the reports were styled 
" memorandums," if the committee desired the lord president of the 
Council " to present ■' certain matters or " to move the king," and 
'minutes," if the committee, having reached its own conclusion, 
agreed " to move," " to present," or " to offer opinions," etc. 
From 1696 to 1782, when once more and for the last time colonial 
business was placed in the hands of a select council, known as the 
Board of Trade, the communication took the form either of a " Re- 
port," if sent in reply to a request from the committee of the whole 
Pri"\^ Council, or of a "Representation," in case the board, of its 
own accord and on its own responsibility, desired to present some 
subject that it deemed proper and necessary to bring to the attention 
of the King. 

No great pains, however, was taken by the clerks to be precise in 
the use of these terms. Before 1696 the phrases "Address and Hum- 
ble Advice " and " Opinion and Humble Advice " are occasionally

found, and " Representation "' appears as early as April 26, 1G89. 
" Rej^ort " is, however, the usual term. After 1696 " Report " and 
" Representation " are the only terms used, though the distinction 
between them is not very exactly preserved. Owing to the fact that 
the Board of Trade was ordered by its commission to make " Repre- 
sentations " to the King, this term received official sanction and was 
put into use at once in the journal. Nevertheless "Report" was 
often written when '" Representation " was meant and had a generic 
significance, as is seen from the title " Clerk of the Reports," given 
to the official appointed in 1730 to aid in the drafting of these docu- 
ments. On the other hand, in half-a-dozen instances, the reports to 
the committee of the whole Council are called " Representations " ; 
and sometimes in the same entry the two terms are used interchange- 
ably. The rule, however, seems fairly well established that " Report " 
was a reply to a reference from the committee and "" Representation " 
an original recommendation submitted to the King, Queen, Prince of 
Wales, or lords justices. 

The total number of the reports and representations drafted dur- 
ing the years from 1661 to 1782 can not be less than 4,200. For the 
purpose of this report 4,148 entries have been listed, of which 591 
belong to the period before 1696, and 3,557 to the period from 1696 
to 1782, representing the output of the Board of Trade. The list, 
however, is not complete, as some of the communications were either 
not recorded, or, if recorded, have not been discovered. But in any 
case the omissions can not be numerous, probably not exceeding fifty 
altogether. 

The subjects dealt with are naturally of a varied character, but 
fall at once into two groups: those constituting the regular routine 
work of the board, and those constituting its manifold occasional 
activities. 

In the first group are the following: 

1. Representations accompanying drafts of governors' commis- 
sions and instructions. 

2. Representations proposing the names of governors, lieutenant 
governors, chief justices, attorneys general, and secretaries. 

3. Representations proposing the names of councilors, and even 
submitting drafts of warrants for the King's signature. This func- 
tion involved inquiry into cases of suspension of councilors by 
colonial governors, and recommendations to restore, in case the causes 
for suspension appeared to be insufficient. 

4. Recommendations to confirm or disallow colonial acts. Before 
1718 such recommendations were usually based on the opinions of 
the attorney general or solicitor general, and after that date upon 
the opinions of the councilor to the board. The board might modify 



REPRESENTATIONS OF THE BOARD OF TRADE. 323 

the opinion of its adviser, just as the committee of the Privy Council 
might modify or alter the recommendation of the board. 

5. Reports or representations accompanying drafts of proclama- 
tions. 

6. Representations advising that passage be provided for govern- 
ors going to their posts in the plantations, including requests for 
allowances of ship, freight, and even money, for family, servants, 
and household goods. 

7. Representations recommending or opposing leaves of absence 
for colonial governors, councilors, and other officials, on grounds of 
healtli or otherwise. 

8. Representations recommending that governors be allowed to 
receive presents from colonial assemblies. 

9. Reports or representations accompanying warrants for the 
King's engraver to make seals for new colonies, new seals for old 
colonies, or to destroy old seals that had been replaced. 

10. Representations recommending convoys for merchant ships 
during the periods when commerce needed protection, either from 
pirates or from ships of the enemy in time of war. 

In the second group are all reports and representations that con- 
cern the remaining activities of the board. These reports and rep- 
resentations are contained in the list given below, from which all 
entries belonging to the first group have been excluded, except in a 
few instances. To have included these entries in the list would have 
lengthened this report beyond reasonable limits and have added very 
little to its value. Many of these representations are perfunctory 
communications, of trifling importance, while most of the others can 
readily be found elsewhere. Lists of councilors and of laws dis- 
allowed are printed in the appendices to the "Acts of the Privy 
Council, Colonial," and in most cases can be seen, calendared at 
greater or less length, in the body of that work, or, until 1703, in the 
'• Calendar of State Papers, Colonial." A list of governors' commis- 
sions and instructions has already been issued in the Report of this 
association for 1911. 

"What is here printed is, therefore, a select list, containing such 
reports and representations as disclose the activities of the various 
boards in other than the customary routine of their business. Con- 
taining as it does about 2,100 titles, it shows that half of the reports 
and representations dealt with matters that lay outside the regular 
functions of the boards. Taken altogether, the list is an impressive 
one, indicating the wide range of their business and the diversified 
character of the subjects upon which the}^ made reports. It connotes 
a greater activit)^ than has commonly been attributed to these ad- 
visory bodies. It shows how large a part the Lords of Trade and

the Board of Trade actually had in the business of colonial manage- 
ment, for a study of the orders in council makes clear that in the 
greater number of cases the ultimate authority, the King in Council, 
accepted without change the reports of its committee; and we know 
that the committee, as a rule, though there are some important excep- 
tions, followed the advice of the advisory board in making up its 
report. There is reason to believe that in some instances the board 
even went so far as to draft the order in Council itself, in confident 
anticipation of the Council's action. 

Reports arose under the following circumstances: The Privy 
Council, if a memorial, petition, or other matter were brought to its 
attention, either directly or through the secretary of state, as a rule 
referred it to the committee. In very man}^ instances the business 
went no further, being dealt with by the committee alone. But more 
often the committee referred it for consideration and report to some 
department, such as the treasury, the admiralty, or the ordnance, or, 
in by far the greater number of cases, to the Board of Trade. The 
board in reply sent not only information as to the facts in the case, 
but also advice as to the course to be followed. The members of the 
committee, having received the report, generally approved it and 
embodied all or a part of it in their own report to the Council. In 
probably 90 per cent of the cases the resulting Order in Council re- 
produced almost verbatim the recommendation of the advisory board. 

Representations, on the other hand, did not originate as a reply to 
a request from the higher authority; they were drawn up at the 
instance of the advisory board itself. Many of them are brief state- 
ments accompanying a warrant, commission, or instruction drafted 
by the board and submitted to the King ; others are of greater length, 
containing explanations and comments that define the position of the 
board on the questions involved; while still others are elaborate 
documents, covering many pages of text, and often followed by ap- 
pendices of illustrative material of great historical value. In mak- 
ing up such representations, the board utilized not only the papers in 
the Plantation Office and other record repositories, such as the Rolls 
Chapel and the Tower, but also reports obtained for the purpose from 
the Treasury, the Admiralty, the Ordnance Office, the Commissioners 
of Customs, and other departments of the government. Hence many 
of these representations are authoritative statements of departmental 
policy. In some of them the board, having come to a definite con- 
clusion as to the course to be followed, proposed that an Order in 
Council be issued at once; in others it submitted a statement of the 
facts and asked for an expression of the King's will and pleasure. 
In such cases the committee, having received the representation by 
reference from the Council, would sometimes transmit it, or a 
part of it, to some other department for further consideration and 



REPRESENTATIONS OF THE BOARD OF TRADE. 325 

advicGj and in the end "vvould draft a report of its own, based on the 
various opinions received. 

Owing to the growing importance of the secretariat in the period 
after 1702, the procedure followed by the board in submitting its re- 
ports and representations to the Council is involved in some ob- 
scurity. All of the reports made before 1675 were addressed to the 
King and sent directly to the Council. From 1675 to 1696 those sub- 
mitted by the Lords of Trade were despatched to the lord president 
for report to the Council, though as early as September 19, 1690, we 
meet with a memorial addressed to the secretary of state urging liim 
to move the King to a given end. The Board of Trade was instructed 
by its commission in 1696 to transmit its representations to the King 
or the Privy Council directly, and this would appear to have been 
not only the correct, but the usual method. In 1707, however, Secre- 
tary Sunderland found fault with the board for " failing to acquaint 
the Secretary of State with all business that relates immediately to 
bis province before it be brought to the Council," and the board re- 
plied that it would in the future comply with his request, " it being 
very reasonable that your Lordship be fully informed in all those 
matters from us that come before her Majest}'." Whether this agree- 
ment covered all the reports and representations of the board is not 
clear, but in any case, the Board of Trade two years later expressed 
itself as dissatisfied with the arrangement, because for the entire 
period the secretary had failed to inform it even once of the King's 
decisions on the matters presented to him. That transmission 
through the secretary was not considered the proper method is evi- 
dent from the action of the Privy Council, August 12, 1724, when 
it returned a representation for redelivery on the ground that the 
paper should have been sent, not through the secretary, but directly 
to the King at the board. Exactly what the practice was at different 
times in the board's history is not easy to ascertain. Many represen- 
tations were sent to the secretary with a letter desiring him to la}^ the 
matter before the King; but the greater number w^as undoubtedly 
delivered directly to the clerk of the Council at the Council Chamber. 
The offices were all very close together, in or near the Cockpit. 

The references here given are to the entrj^ books and other volumes 
and bundles in the Public Eecord Office. In addition, I have system- 
atically inserted references to the " Calendar of State Papers, Colo- 
nial."' to 1703, and to the '" Acts of the Privy Council, Colonial," 
after that date, with the idea of making the list in a sense an index 
to the reports and representations entered in those volumes. The list 
is, however, something more and something less than an index. Many 
of the reports and representations found in the Public Record Office 
are not entered in the printed works ; and vice versa there are reports 
and representations in the "Acts of the Privy Council, Colonial," 



326 AMEEICAX HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION. 

that have not been discovered in the Public Record Office. Doubtless 
some of the omissions are due to the failure of the clerks to record 
the committee's reference and the reply of the board, thus leaving 
out of the Register all mention of the report, which may in fact be 
reproduced in the committee's report to the Council. Some of the 
missing reports have been found among the unbound papers, as 
calendared in the sixth volume of the " Acts." In a nvimber of cases, 
the list supplements the " Acts " by noting the report where the 
printed entry does no more than mention the reference. Again, the 
printed entry occasionally mentions a report without giving its con- 
tents, and in such a case the full text can be found only with the aid 
of this list. A few errors in the dates and references given in the 
" Calendar " have been corrected here. 

A complete and satisfactory definition of British colonial policy 
can not be drafted until the opinions, reasons, and rules embodied 
in these reports and representations, and altered or modified bj^ the 
committee of the whole council, have been examined and their 
history traced. Such an investigation Avill demand a careful and 
critical study of the governors' commissions and instructions through- 
out the entire period, of all disallowances of colonial acts. West 
Indian as well as continental, of all comments upon colonial appoint- 
ments, councilors as well as governors, and of all statements of 
policy contained in the reports and representations here listed. With 
the Acts of the Privy Council, Colonial, now complete, with the 
Calendar of State Papers, Colonial, complete to the year 1703 and 
about to enter on a period of more rapid progress, and with the 
Journal of the Board of Trade now marked for printing as a separate 
undertaking, it should soon be possible for the student of colonial 
history to find out, with greater certaintj^ than has yet been at- 
tained, the motives that underlay the colonial policy of the British 
government and the part taken by the various advisory boards in 
originating that policy and giving it definite shape.
